Expanding the role of reactive transport models in critical zone processes (2017, background): “The biomass can grow based on the amount of SOC assimilated, which allows simulation of processes such as priming, where simple carbon input greatly increases the overall soil C transformation (Dungait et al., 2012; Finzi et al., 2015; Fontaine et al., 2007; Kuzyakov and Blagodatskaya, 2015).”
Plant clipping decelerates the mineralization of recalcitrant soil organic matter under multiple grassland species (2012, background): “Prior to 2003, the site was managed as a permanent grassland for more than 50 years (Fontaine et al., 2007).”
The role of terrestrially derived organic carbon in the coastal ocean: A changing paradigm and the priming effect (2011, background): “Priming has been shown to increase the loss of soil carbon by 169% after priming by sucrose, 44% following chopped maize, and 67% following ground maize additions (90).”
Conceptualizing soil organic matter into particulate and mineral‐associated forms to address global change in the 21st century (2019, background): “…sequestered long term and its vulnerability to global change factors minimized, such as at depth (Chenu et al., 2019; Hicks Pries et al., 2018) where its decomposition could be inhibited by lack of fresh C supply (Fontaine et al., 2007) or spatial separation from decomposers (Sokol et al., 2018).”
Biochemical cycling in the rhizosphere having an impact on global change (2009, neutral): “However, the supply of labile carbon, such as soluble sugars, amino acids, root mucilage or rhizosphere extract, induces no or little affect on decomposition of soil organic matter, compared to more recalcitrant plant derived carbon, such as ryegrass, cellulose or wheat straw (Fontaine et al. 2007; ”
Effect of temperature on metabolic activity of intact microbial communities: Evidence for altered metabolic pathway activity but not for increased maintenance respiration and reduced carbon use efficiency (2011, background): “…paradigms in soil organic matter turnover is that low energy yield prevents the microbial breakdown of recalcitrant compounds (Craine et al., 2007; Fontaine et al., 2007; Kuzyakov, 2010), perhaps explaining why soil organic matter turnover is stimulated by increased C input under elevated CO2…”
Substrate concentration constraints on microbial decomposition (2014, background): “This mechanism is distinct from the traditional priming effect, whereby increases in labile substrate inputs stimulate decomposition of more recalcitrant organic matter (Fontaine et al., 2007; Hungate et al., 2013).”
Searching for unifying principles in soil ecology (2009, background): “Likewise, with depth through the soil profile, there is a predictable decrease in SOC content accompanied by consistent increases in the mean residence time of the SOC pools (Gaudinski et al., 2000; Fontaine et al., 2007) and increases in alkyl C content (Lorenz et al.”
Integrating plant–soil interactions into global carbon cycle models (2009, background): “…C in DGVMs relate to their inability to represent potentially important ecological phenomena including priming of soil C decomposition at depth (Fontaine et al. 2007), the ‘gadkil’ effect and non-equilibrium dynamics (Schimel & Weintraub 2003; Fontaine & Barot 2005; Neill & Gignoux 2006;…”
Mechanisms of real and apparent priming effects and their dependence on soil microbial biomass and community structure: critical review (2008, background): “A significant increase in CO2 production can occur after applying easily available substrates to soils that have not received fresh C for a long time, such as deep soil layers (Fontaine et al. 2007), soils with low respiratory activity (Hamer and Marschner 2005), or fallow soils (Panikov 1995).”
Dynamics and pathways of autotrophic and heterotrophic soil CO2 efflux revealed by forest girdling (2011, methodology): “14C analyses were carried out at the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre, East Kilbride, UK (Freeman et al. 2007).”
